How to revise stuff in Doman maths without boring your child?

[trieuminh]

Hi parents,
Could you kindly suggest ways to revise maths stuff your children learned without boring them in the Doman method? Here is what I'm doing after learning from this forum:
- Change the order of the dot cards randomly
- Replace the dots with the stuff baby likes. So far I created the duck cards, flower cards, parrot cards, etc.

Are there any other suggestions? Many thanks!

I've had the same problem, and I'd love more ideas! 

One thing I did was to create bead strings with different numbers of large beads.  If you use a pattern, you can tell at a glance how many beads are on the string (I didn't the first time, which was a problem) and then use the string for indentifying quantity instead of cards.  (Look, 20 beads!  If I add 32 beads, how many do I have?  52!)  My daughter enjoyed playing with the physical objects and then I didn't have to count out 52 little coins or whatever.

With smaller numbers, any objects your kid likes work well.  Food: two raisins plus four raisins equals six raisins.  We have plastic gold coins filling a pirate chest that my daughter loves to add and subtract.

For multiplication, one idea I had but never implemented was plastic flowers.  Get five daisies, each with however many petals a perfect daisy has, and multiply petals and flowers.  Get multiples of lots of different flowers and do different multiplication and division activities.  I thought this would be really fun but never got around to it.

Some counting books work well; you can comment on how many strawberries or whatever there are on the page.  Just don't always go in order and it's more Doman-style.

The bead string is a great idea, I'm envious of your creativity! Thanks so much for sharing! I hope other parents could share their methods also.
